I figured we were too far north to have coffee trees and the pods that fell off them didn't look like anything that could be converted into a beverage. <br> &nbsp; <br> I was wrong. Apparently old timers, in hard times, took the seeds/beans/berries and toasted them to brew into coffee. <br> &nbsp; <br> Has anyone ever tried coffee brewed from one of these trees?
